Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 8 ounces Cremini or white mushrooms
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
1. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter.
Step 4
4. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-6 minutes until they are golden and their moisture has evaporated.
Step 5
5. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Step 6
6. Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape and deglaze the bottom of the skillet. Let the broth simmer for 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.
Step 7
7. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let the sauce cook for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Step 8
8. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the mushroom cream sauce over them. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the chicken is heated through.
Step 9
9. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
